“Mas se o mundo é um número de magia, deve também haver um ilusionista. Espero poder vir a desmascará-lo, mas não é fácil descobrir um truque, quando o ilusionista nem sequer vem ao palco.”
Jostein Gaarder, The Solitaire Mystery

Patricia S. Churchland
“La hipótesis predominante es que lo que nosotros, los humanos, llamamos «ética» o «moralidad» es una estructura de conducta social en cuatro dimensiones que viene determinada por la interrelación de distintos procesos cerebrales: (1) el cuidado o la atención a los demás (enraizado en el apego a nuestros familiares y la preocupación por su bienestar),11 (2) el reconocimiento de los estados psicológicos de los demás (basado en las ventajas de predecir la conducta de terceros), (3) la resolución de problemas en un contexto social (por ejemplo, cómo deberíamos distribuir los bienes cuando son escasos, cómo resolver disputas territoriales”

Gilles Deleuze
“[The dogmatic image of thought]… presupposes codes or axioms which do not result by chance, but which do not have an intrinsic rationality either. It’s just like theology: everything about it is quite rational if you accept sin, the immaculate conception, and the incarnation. Reason is always a region carved out of the irrational — not sheltered from the irrational at all, but traversed by it and only defined by a particular kind of relationship among irrational factors. Underneath all reason lies delirium, and drift.”
Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition

Patricia S. Churchland
“The data indicate that just before the eyes make their next jump (saccade), your nonconscious attention scans the next chunk, selects a meaty word for your center of gaze to light on (a word like murder, not a word like indeed), and guides the eye movement accordingly.”
Patricia S. Churchland, Touching a Nerve: The Self as Brain

“Statistically, male-to-female transsexuals are about 2.6 times as common as female-to-male transsexuals.”
